Daocheng Yading: Don't let us miss our appointment.

Daocheng Yading: Don't let us miss our appointment. "There is a place called Daocheng, and I want to go there with the one I love the most. I want to see the blue sky, the white snow-capped mountains, the golden grassland, and a fairy tale in autumn. I want to tell her that if I don't live in your heart, I will die in a foreign land. I want to tell her that love is about being together forever." - "I Belonged to You" Daocheng Yading is located in Xianggelila Town, Daocheng County, Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, and is known as "the last pure land on the blue planet." Daocheng Yading Scenic Area is a national 5A-level tourist attraction and a national water conservancy scenic area. The main attractions of Daocheng Yading include the three sacred mountains of Xian Nai Ri, Yang Mai Yong, and Xia Nuo Duo Ji, as well as Pearl Lake, Milk Lake, and Wuse Lake. Daocheng Yading, formerly known as "Daoba," is a transliteration of the Tibetan language, meaning "a place where the valley mouth is wide." Its history can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty when it was the residence of the Bailang Qiang people. During the Tang Dynasty, Daocheng was under the rule of the Tubo Dynasty. Later, the Bailang Kingdom was destroyed by Songtsen Gampo of Tubo, which profoundly influenced the cultural and historical development of Daocheng. In the Ming Dynasty, Daocheng was under the jurisdiction of the Tusi Prefecture of Lijiang, Yunnan, and the leader was the Mu Tusi of the Naxi ethnic group. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Daocheng became the jurisdiction of the Xuanfu Department granted by the Qing court. In 1939, with the establishment of Xikang Province, Daocheng was officially renamed "Daocheng County" and has been used ever since. The name "Daocheng Yading" means "a sunny place" in Tibetan and is a gathering place of natural beauty. The three sacred mountains, Xian Nai Ri, Yang Mai Yong, and Xia Nuo Duo Ji, together with the surrounding rivers, lakes, and alpine meadows, form a beautiful picture. The lakes are inlaid like jade among the rocks, and the scenery is spectacular and breathtaking, which is why it is known as "the last Shangri-La."
